Hot Water Under Floor Heating On A Sand Cement Screed

[lm tiles]

Any advice on tiling onto a sand cement screed laid over underfloor heating pipes . I would imagine the screed will be pretty weak not like a concrete floor . Ceramic tiles ..

If the screed is laid right then it won't be weak....use flexi products to tile with...Also a product like ditra mat is ideal for this type of installation.........

A plumber mate of mine when they have laid this type of heating turn the heating on for a couple of days as hot as it will go then let the floor go cold before i tile, dont know if this helps to stop to much expansion.
